I doubt it.

The crew detection ranges can, and have been, changed to realistic values (at least in RFB), but the ranges at which we hear are always at the high end. You see your sub's crew gets better as their equipment improves, but what we hear is always at the best level; it doesn't change. That is how it was explained to me.

If it was possible to correct, someone would have done it by now.

I would say just don't do manual hydrophone sweeps, until after your crew detects something.

I believe the RFB team was well aware of the issue, but lacked any means to fix it. I imagine Ducimus (of TMO fame) knew about it just as well.
